POLICE COURT.
Some Interesting Gases Disposed of by
Judge Buckley.

Some Interesting Gases Disposed of by
Judge buckley.
Yesterdays calender in the Police Court
was not an unusually long one, but some of
the cases being important, the Court did
not adjourn until long after the usual din
ner hour. The first case called was that of
Eddie Girard, charged with petty larceny
in stealing vest from clothing store.
The defendant pleaded guiity to the charge,
but said he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing when he took the arti-
Gle. he had bought other articles at the
same time, and it was by mistake that he
appropriated the vest. The Court accepted
drunkenness as the cause of the act, but
said it was very singular that the man
should steal vest, the only article which
he could safely shield from sight. Ten
dollars or ten days was the judgment pro-
nounced.
B. Terrier and F. Gabriel, charged with
assault with a deadly weapon, had their
trial set for December Both, at 10 AN.
Lizzie Adams, booked for being drunk,
shielded herself by saying that it was the
first time that she was ever in Court, and
that it was purely an accident that she be-
came intoxicated. The fact that the woman
had never before been in the dock, influ-
enced the Court and he allowed her to
depart.
George Fisher, arrested on a similar
offense, forfeited a s. deposit, enriching
the city 81 so.
The case of w. H. Williams was then
called and the defendant heard read the
complaint charging him with disturbing
the peace. He quickly entered a plea of
not guilty, and said he was ready for trial.
Officers Rider and O'Meara testified to
having arrested defendant while he was
clinched with another man in the LAFAYETTE
saloon The defendant and another wit
ness testified as to how the row originated,
showing that they were not the aggressors
IN the fight. Judge Henry, who was in the
Courtroom, put in good word for the de-
PENDANT, who thanked him. The Court
discharged Williams, who was presented
with a cigar by ex-Judge Henry. During
the trial much laughter was INDUCED in by
all in the Courtroom.
Butch " Vantine, one of The assailants
in the fight, demanded jury trial and had
his case set for December 31st.
Louis Stone, charged with malicious mis-
chief, was dismissed for want of prosecu-
ton.
James Cody, drunk, was sentenced to
paw fine of IS or in default the usual al
tentative.
John Fitzpatrick, charged with being in
toxicated, will be tried to- dsv.
The forgery case against W. S. Kendall
was again continued until January 10,
1883, on account of the illness of Grove L.
johnson, the defendants attorney.
The assault to murder case against Til
| den occupied considerable time. Ex-Judge
Henry appeared as counsel for Tilden. The
Court discharged the defendant and stated
that he thought from the testimony the
defendant had no intention to commit
murder.

Because otthe Uncertainty.
[From the st. Paul Pioneer1
A peculiar case of what is supposed
to be suspended animation has devel-
oped near Mankato. A week ago to-
night Miss Rosa Pfeister, II years old,
who has been residing for the past ff-
teen months with German family two
miles north of this city, retired for the
night in her usual good health and
bouyant spirits. The next morning not
responding to repeated calls, she was
found apparently dead. She was
still warm, and her face exactly resem-
bled that of a sleeping person. The
coroner was summoned, and, after in
vestigating the circumstances of the
supposed death, decided that no official
inquiry was necessary. There was no
suspicion of foul play, as the family
with which the young lady resided is
highly respected, though Miss Pfeister
was an orphan and had some property
coming to her.
The funeral was to have occurred last
Saturday, and every preparation was
made for it. When the time came, how
ever, it was found that the remains had
not begun to decOmpOse, though they
were kept in heated room and were
not packed in ice. The face had a Won
derfully lifelike appearance also. After
observing these and and similar thing s
it was decided to postpone the funeral
until something developed. At present
the body lies in an unchanged condi-
ton. The undertaken has made thor
ongh tests, and finds that no decompo-
sition has taken place either externally
or internally, and he pronounces it
the strangest case that he has ever met
with in his long experience IN such
matters. He thinks that the young Ia
dy is dead, and the health officer con-
ours in his opinion. On the other
hand decomposition almost invariably
begins forty-eight hours after death at
the utmost, even when the body is kept
in cold room. This body has been
kept in heated room for over week,
and has not changed in the least during
that time. The face resembles that OF
sleeping person, and looks perfectly
life-like, except that it is quite pale
The house where the remains lie is
crowded every day by curious specta-
tors. The family of which the young
lady is a member is agitated by the
-nostu uy,ainful uncertainty, not KNOWING
should prove to be case of suspended
animation, the young lady would have
very narrowly escaped horrible death
either by the knife of the postmorten
examiner or by being buried alive.

A Great Game Region.

The Big Horn Mountains are fairly
swarming with game. Deer are there
galore, also elk and mountain sheep, and
bear too, for that matter, if anyone cares
to go in after the toughest of all mount
ain customers. Deer in this country
average from $50 to 800 pounds To
hunt them successfully requires some
knowledge of their habits, but the fol-
lowing general ru.es will serve and help
out considerably ly until the novice has had
a few wisdom teeth cut and missed few
score of the auimals-mOre or less. Their
mating season is late in the fall, along
about October or early in November,
when their horns become hardened and
they go racing around through the woods
in pursuit of the fleeing does. This is
a dangerous time to attack, for the bucks
are exceedingly belligerent, and will fight
hard and long, even though only slightly
wounded.
In the Big Horn Mountains the deer
and elk have regular runways to water,
which they follow year in and year out.
Does a lazy Indian need venison for sup
per, he merely stations himself at or near
one of these runways, and waits for ms
p.ev to come a'ong. Pretty soon the
graceful creature comes bounding INTO
view. the redskin utters soft bleat OF
whistle, the dear pauses a moment IN as
I, i,lIrcnt, and the next minute lalls
dead in his tracks. -Fitts6urg Gazette.
